Lookin’ at U – Doris Dortch

picture disc.Quick, think of five things others should know about you.

That’s the theme behind a series in UNMC Today called “Lookin’ at U.”

Each Thursday, we will randomly select a medical center employee to feature.

This week, we feature Doris Dortch, lead teacher in the UNMC Child Development Center.

Doris Dortch
Here, in her own words, are five fun facts about Doris:
  • I was born in Arkansas and my family moved to Omaha when I was 3-years-old. I have seven sisters and two brothers.
  • I teach sign language to 1- and 2-year-old children. Each child learns more than 100 signs.
  • I love driving my Mustang convertible while listening to a variety of music, but country music is my favorite.
  • I make video music collages for friends and family. I have three wonderful daughters, one granddaughter and two grandsons.
  • I’m getting married for the first time at the age of 51!

Read UNMC Today next Thursday to see who is featured in the next Lookin’ at U article. Who knows — it could be U.
